A review by maryehavens
Daughter of the Salt King by A.S. Thornton

4.0

I am not a romance reader and I bet my romance reader friends will think that this is a snoozefest in the romance department BUT!! I really loved the romance between Emel and Saalim. Like really loved it. Not so much that I want to spend another 300+ pages on the second book but this is my speed of romance: tons of other stuff happening with a slow burn romance that has zero details and fades to black when the consummation occurs. Yep, that's how I do romance so this book was PERFECT for me! Think Outlander and Arabian Nights had a baby.
That being said, I feel like this book went on a bit too long. I got really confused about the jinni part at the end and then it all felt a little predictable.
I also had a hard time with the ahiran concept but that's just my particular problem. It actually worked really well for this book.
